Finding Hope Now
Released: August 19, 2014Runtime: 120 min
Inspired by the true story about Rev. Roger Minassian who at the age of 53 left the security of his pastorate to step outside his comfort zone to do the truly amazing. Knowing nothing about gang youth, he took to the streets and transformed our city, ravaged by gang violence, by taking over 1,700 gang kids off of our streets. It is also the story of Santos Delgado, a gang member, who at age 16 had no future and little hope. He knew his future was either prison or death. His girlfriend was pregnant. He had to make life-changing decisions. This film is about taking risk, embracing change, overcoming the impossible, and finding hope.
